AP's "Best Releases of 2002" News Rip-Off Fest Part 5: AFI's next album is expected in Fall of 2002 on Nitro. "I think that anybody who appreciates what we've done musically over the past couple of years is going to be able to appreciate what we're doing now. There's the dark thread that ties all of our music together, so that will always be the underlying aesthetic of our band," was Davey Havok's satement to AP. Havok would not let any information out about the lyrical content, but did identify that artist Alan Forbes will be again doing the cover art.
